10 Ways The PS5 Will DESTROY The Next Xbox

8. PlayStation Assistant Will Be A Better Kinect

The most recent patent filed by Sony might be the most interesting yet, as it could change the game when it comes to how players actually control their consoles.

Both the PS4 and the Xbox One enjoy voice commands at the moment (with that feature pretty much being the one redeeming part of the Kinect 2.0), but the Playstation Assistant would be an advanced form of that, essentially Sony's answer to Alexa.

Voice commands might be seen as kind of pointless when you can use a controller to accomplish the same actions just as fast, but this patent actually suggests some pretty intriguing in-game possibilities.

As someone who uses a lot of guides to go trophy hunting - and has experienced the frustration that comes from flicking between information on a phone and the action in the game - the addition of being able to call up a walkthrough on the same screen is a dream come true.

That's on top of the increased accessibility options that would come with the technology as well, overall increasing the PS5's ease of use.

It sounds like one of those features like rest mode, where it seems small, but once you have it you couldn't imagine a time where you didn't use it all the time.
